John Jay College of Criminal Justice is hosting a free film screening of "Words of Witness" on October 30 at 1:30 p.m. The documentary film highlights the work a young Egyptian female journalist who used social media to promote democracy and social justice during the Egyptian Arab Spring. It also explores the importance of women in any democratic social movement and reminds us that social justice and democracy must be inclusive of difference--whether by gender or other categories--if they are to be authentic.
